Because my aneurysm was already at 5.2 cm I first saw Estrera and he saw me very quickly. The surgeons that first found it recommended I saw a thoracic surgeon right away. I’m pretty sure I found Prakash through Dr Estrera’s office (their recommendation), and I’m so glad I did. Depending on where yours is at you may want to see Prakash first.

But if yours is large, close or over 5.0 then I would see Estrera first, having the surgeon’s referral will give you priority with Prakash and pretty much any other care you need.
